Re: [orca-list] A few questions regarding Orca and different behaviors and tips

[Daniel McGee <danielmcgee134 gmail com>]

Adding to this, caps lock H followed by F3. Or function F3. Will give 
you a list of shortcuts for the current application that you are using. 
After that, just arrow up and down to hear the exstensive list. Finally 
hit the escape key to get out of the mode.


Found this to be highly invaluable when I couldn't remember the 
keystroke to bring up a list of links.


New to Linux and Orca, as well. So Thought this deserves mentioning for 
anyone learning Orca keystrokes.
